Customer Reviews

This was my first deep fryer. I've made French fries, fried mushrooms, Calamari, vegetable tempura, a MonteCristo sandwich, even a fried Cornish Game hen in it. All were successful.Very easy to use. I like that the entire unit goes in the dishwasher except the electronics and heater. It disassembles easily and puts back together easily. You need a good wide funnel to pour the used oil through to save it. I use a very fine mesh strainer which fits in the funnel. I use the oil 4-5 times, and keep seafood separate from other. I use for special meals, not weekly. Really enjoy it

We don't eat fried food every week, but we occasionally enjoy a special meal of fried fish, fried oysters, fried shrimp, or fried ravioli and this fryer is perfect for our needs. The fryer does a great job maintaining the temperature while cooking resulting in excellent fried food. Four quarts of oil is just the right size for us, usually allowing us to cook a meal in one frying, and it's easy to store that amount oil in a container in the refrigerator between uses. Cleaning the fryer is a snap. We are extremely satisfied.

Breville has great products! I am a believer in great products = great food outcome. I've been shopping for a new fryer. I saw this on clearance--can't help myself. A great buy for a quality product, you can't go wrong!

I've always wanted a deep fryer and we used one in a cooking class I took on donuts. We used a couple of different fryers but this one I liked the most. And it was on sale so I bought it. And I've used it many times.

I have several Breville products (Smart Oven & Risotto maker), which are great, easy to use appliances. I wanted (rather than needed) a deep fryer. Frankly, this one went on sale, which nudged my purchase. Just call it a a 'gift' to myself.

Please describe how to remove oil from the appliance. The previous question was not adequately responded to.

Is there a drain enabling oil to be removed from the appliance? Another reviewer asked how to drain the oil from the basket and the response talked about lifting the inner basket. That does not answer the question at hand. How is oil removed/drained from the appliance after use? A specific answer is requested.

BEST ANSWER:You can remove the inner frying bowl by grasping the rim and lifting upwards. This enables you to dump the oil from the frying bowl. There is no drain, and the previous answer refers to the bowl that contains the oil, not the basket. It has to be removed and dumped

The max temp was not answered adequately as I believe the asker wanted to know what the min/max temp this appliance allows for. If you compare this to the WS Breville fryer they have on their site, it states: Easy-to-use control dial adjusts cooking temperatures from 320° to 375°F. With that said, what are the min/max temps and how long does it take to heat it up to the highest temp?

BEST ANSWER:The information provided in my previous answer is directly from the manual, as stated. There isn't one simple answer to either of those questions, as many different oils are suitable for use, thus leaving the answer variable. Suitable oils have a max temp range of 375° to 445°. Minimum & max times to heat the oil are not provided, as that will depend largely on the type of oil & it's temperature prior to heating.

BEST ANSWER:All depends on the type of food you are cooking. So far, I have used it mostly for desserts. When I am making zeppoles, I can drop about 10-12 small scoops of dough in there. I know they will enlarge while cooking and need room to turn. When making an Italian dessert similar in structure to an empanada, I can usually fit about 6-8. I happen to enjoy using this product. The presets are great, although I have customized the temperature and time to fit my needs; this is a handy feature. I have found it easy to use and clean up. Keep in mind you are working with hot oil, so you should not overfill the basket. If you have deep fried before, you will know that some foods will make the hot oil foam or boil up. Hope this review was helpful.
